2, Nine people fit comfortably in a 3 ft. by 3 ft. area. Use this value to
estimate the size of a crowd that is 8 yards deep and 1 mile long.
Determine the Area of the crowd?
A. Area = 3 feet x 3 feet
B. Area = 8 yards v 1 mile = (8 x 3 feet) x (1 x 5280 feet)
C. Area = 24 feet x 1 feet.
D. Area = 8 feet x 5280 feet
.

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

8 yards = 3 * 8 = 24 ft^2

1 mile = 5280

3*3 = 9 square feet

9 square feet holds 9 people.

1 square foot holds 1 person

8*3 * 5280 people could stand in an area of 8 yards * 1 mile

Though it's not quite correct, the answer is B
